More Pac 12 Shenanigans
https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03/21/letter-58/
Former Pac-12 football officials offer sharp rebuke of conference leadership and policies in letter to commissioner Larry Scott
Officiating program called a “laughing stock” within the Power Five
In a letter sent to Pac-12 executives following the 2018 season, three former football officials offered a sharp, detailed critique of the conference’s officiating program and asked “for necessary changes in a positive manner.”
Mack Gilchrist, Charles Czubin and Fred Gallagher, who have more than 100 years of experience as Pac-12 officials, directed their criticism at commissioner Larry Scott and vice president for officiating David Coleman, but they did not let general counsel Woodie Dixon off the hook.
“We do not appreciate the direction this Conference is headed under your direction by disgracing its long and respected heritage,’’ they wrote to the conference in late December. (See the full letter and other exchanges below.)
Calling the Pac-12 officiating program a “laughing stock” within the Power Five, the authors focus on several core issues, including Dixon’s controversial interference in the replay review process last season, bowl assignments, position supervisors, the authority of instant replay officials and the conference’s training program.
Gallagher, who has served as the instant replay official in the College Football Playoff, also told the Hotline that both Coleman and Dixon have entered his replay booth during games to ask about replay decisions and sideline conduct situations.

RE: More Pac 12 Shenanigans
I think the shenanigans extend further than a conference employee getting to impact the game’s integrity. I’m more bothered how this never blew up into a bigger story, and NCAA investigations against the conferences and networks.
I get it. The game can be fixed by outside influences. “Asset protection.” But letting this stuff slide is far more embarrassing.
WWE is more authentic than college football.

Pac 12 does have the worst officiating in football.
